I would think some sort of heavy mesh would work great, although Ive never attempted scrog outdoors, Ive always dug pits, backfilled with promix/ffof, bonemeal, lime and little added perilite and blackgold, works very well. Ive got some blue dreams that look great, four cheese from seed that are already over 4ft tall, also bubba kush, greencrack, big bud, trainwreck, then one big pheno of the church that just had to go outside, already cant wait for this fall. Take Care, Peace!
Thanks for the well wishes, bro. Still playing with the idea of actually doing it... I'm concerned about the stunted growth that comes with topping. Sounds like your cheese are gonna be some monsters!
I'd like to see how they turn out.

Field fencing works good and is not too costly but a hungry deer can jump it, check out NEL's outdoor grow, uses soap and mothballs I think to keep the deer away..
I remember reading somewhere that zest or irish spring works very well, I'll be sure to try it. There is a small family of deer that run around on the property that I'm concerned about... I try and give the area a good golden shower when I'm working up there too haha

Lookin good so far my man, a very promising setup. I couldn't have picked better strains myself! I can't find those Casey Jones clones up here though I may have to make a roadtrip down to the city to visit some well-stocked dispensaries Well good luck ill stay tuned!
The deer won't eat the plants until there is nothing else around containing moisture, late fall... Had deer walk all around mine and didn't eat them till all other vegetation was dried up? Doesn't hurt using soap and urine early, just my 2 cents...

So far, I've been very impressed with the strain. I'm definitely gonna be taking cutting from these guys, how many were you looking for?

Still working on getting a better camera. Here's a shot of each strain. I'll get some pics of the whole space this week. Blue Dream, Blackberry, Cheese, Purple Kush, Casey Jones respectively.

I'm pretty sure all my PK are hermied...FML. I'll post some pics for a second opinion, but I think it will just be wishful thinking.
EDIT: maybe not all of them, I'm just being dramatic. W/E I might just replace with some teens...
2nd EDIT: just read about some stuff that dutch masters puts out... REVERSE. It's supposed to stop the development of male flowers. Any comments on this stuff?
Pics are up...from some careful internet trolling the leaves on the pk look like something that was revegged. What could have caused this? Is it the indica traits of the plant that require it have a LOT more than 12 hrs? something that would be better provided indoors?

I sprayed the first application of reverse this past weekend. The purple kush, as of yesterday, look a bit healthier. They look like they grew a bit more vigorously than usual, and are bushier. New growth definitely looks healthier and less mutated. Looks like I'm on the right track with these, I'll update as the situation unfolds. I also started growing 2 more plants from clone out of hempy buckets in my backyard. I can keep a much closer eye on these girls. I started them in 3 gallon buckets filled to maybe 3-4 inches of perlite at the reservoir, and the rest with coco mix. The strains in the hempy buckets are Sour Diesel and Headband. They have been in buckets going on two weeks; a bit slow at first, but both plants finally seem to have taken to the reservoir. The headband looks a little healthier at the moment. Will post pics.

Here are a few shots I took yesterday as the sun was dropping. The first is one of the PK showing improved leaf structure. The ones I have in buckets seem to have been hit a bit harder by the mutated foliage. They have hit a growth spurt, and are sprouting healthier new leaves.
Second picture is of my Blue Dream. Growth has been mainly horizontal from its early days of training. It's easily wider than it is tall, there are multiple sturdy branches (around 4?) that are pushing 3 windy feet, I can just picture the colas on them now...
Next pic is my hempy grow. There's a shot of my Headband. Already knocking on the 1' club's door, planted from rooted clone (5") maybe 2 weeks ago.
Next 2 shots are some pictures of part of my secret garden.lol. You can see the the large profile on the Casey Jones...There are some hefty 4.5 footers coming along. Some are slightly below 4' and 1-2 are a slightly different pheno with shorter vertical growth but tighter branch structure. Definitely looks like I'm gonna have some 7-9 footers with these girls. Growth is still very explosive.
Stay smokin' my friends

It's been a while since my last update, but you guys know how it goes. July was a good month for the plants. Lots of solid growth, and half the PK have made a VERY solid recovery... the rest still looks like trash . The PK in buckets are the solid performers, and look like they will yield pretty well. (will post pics of those this weekend). The hempy buckets I started mid/late June in my backyard look awesome for my personal smoke. The larger one is Headband, and the smaller one is Diesel. Hempy with coco is win. Seeing these results, I am most definitely going to be using this method for my indoor crop. There's a shot of 2 of my best Blackberry in there too. They're WIDE AS FUCK. 4.5 feet I'd guess.
These are the teaser shots, I'll get good ones of the whole garden this weekend when I go to feed.
